He's dragged Swansea behind him for about 5 years. I'd be sick of it as well, tbh.

Needs a fresh start. He won t end up here - Koeman doesn't do flair playmakers.

I can't make my mind up on Sigurdsson mate. What 'll say, Like Schneiderlin, Bolasie before him it feels the wrong type of signing. Established talent in the PL come at a heavy premium.

This is my question though, aside from the figure we have to pay, does his ability at set plays give us an unrealistic notion of how good he is? Is he a free kick man?

I have to disagree again. Even when we win he points out the bad parts of the game and what we did to change it. Same with defeats he points out the good and bad. He just says it as he sees it. The only player that he has named is Barkley for losing possession and even then it wasn't a bashing as such. He has seen weaknesses in the team and now he is doing something to strengthen it and he is letting us know all about it. I thought that was what we all wanted...to be kept in the loop. His summaries of matches are the most honest I have heard from most managers and I don't believe he is diverting blame he just recognises the problems and is wanting to rectify them.

They're not honest mate, they're excuses designed to put him in the most positive light. If they were honest he'd first off start them by putting his hand and up and saying "I dropped a bollock here for starting with that change of line up/formation".

No flys on this feller. Anyone and everyone will be sacrificed on the bonfire for his ego's sake.

I dont think so. He makes things happen around the 18 yard box. I can see how you'd question that atm given the statuesque movement of his team mates.

All this ^ from a fella who supported Martinez and his 'Proper Evertonians' comment.

Get in the bin.

Nope. It's a relative comparison to the treatment of Koeman and by Koeman to that of the previous manager.

And you really shouldn't be saying things like that, as I'd be willing to wager I won't have to go too far back to find you referencing him in this thread.

For which he received a temp ban for accumulated warnings.

And since then has sensibly deflected any discussion on OFM to the relevant thread.


edit. Should add that we appreciate that.
